Re: Project P00n (Exotic Killer)

Thanks guys, I have to figure out what all to do. Turns out Shane (my roommate) didn't have home owner's insurance and apparently I guess I didn't have renter's insurance (even though I always do because I get a discount). So all of my stuff like the computer/screen/etc. won't be covered.

As far as my car, I will be filing a claim. I'm about to head over there now to assess the damage.

Re: Project P00n (Exotic Killer)

Pics as promised, forgot to get my rear seat.





Sounds like my amp, speaker and enclosure will be covered, that's about $750 in shit alone. I'm still waiting to hear back from the agent about the Screen and they didn't take the laptop.

This Summer I will be recreating the screen mount to make it removable, I have a few ideas for this. I will also be taking advantage of this and will be fixing ALL cosmetic damage to the car in addition to the fixes, so the car will be mint in the next month. I was thinking a carbon fiber trunk lid too, but I'm not sure and I would like a later Evo VIII spoiler as well.

I hope these fucks are enjoying my shit, they forgot to take the proprietary screen cable so that's gonna be fun for them... idiots.

Oh... and they left my baseball bat in the trunk, so hopefully the day will come when I can give them various broken body parts.

Crappy man. Hope it all goes well at least. Check up craigslist constantly just to see if any of the stolen stuff gets brought up there. My brothers Accord got stolen in fall of 09 and man, I know how it is to go through that stuff man. Good luck to you man.

Suckfest 1999 Sorry man. My 1G was carelessly broken into in a similar fashion and it was tough to deal with; is it so hard to pop a trunk release and use a simple screwdriver? Fuking retards.

Re: Project P00n (Exotic Killer)

Update:

Insurance will be issuing me a check co-signed to either my bank or a shop I choose. I need to probably find a shop that will let me get the parts, so if anyone knows of one they've worked with that would be awesome.

I plan on doing the following:

1.) Used Trunk Lid, debadged back-end (no more UK badging)
2.) Used Evo VIII Spoiler with a fresh clear coat at body shop.
3.) New JDM rear bumper painted at shop.
4.) All body panels fixed.
5.) CF SE Style Front Splitter.
6.) All stereo equipment replaced, upgrade to 12" though.
7.) Screen redesigned so it's easily removable with new HDMI 8" screen.
8.) Car alarm installed, still looking into this.

From Primo
1.) Powder coated wheels, still deciding on color.

From DB
1.) Rebuilt 6spd transmission.

Additional
1.) New mini battery
2.) Evo Floor mats

This Summer: New Turbo

Re: Project P00n (Exotic Killer)

I've used Hopkins Auto Body twice now, and they were willing to do the JDM rear end on my car this last time, which I ended up passing on due to the increased wait time that would have resulted. I don't think they'd have any issue using parts you've picked up since they aren't dealing with your insurance directly.

Re: Project P00n (Exotic Killer)

I've used LaMettry's for both the GLI and the EvoX, one of the writers/managers there is on MNaudi, his name is Brandon: 612.205.6219. Tell him you know me, he's helped me do stuff on the side or whatever, trunklid on the X and such. Make sure to tell him you know me; he'll at least be able to help price some stuff!

Racheal (rosey's girlfriend's dad) works there too, he does body work. I'm trying to sweet talk the paint guy with beer every time I go but it doesn't seem to get a ton cheaper; good paint is expensive!

Also we used the paint genie ( http://www.thepaintgenie.com ) on Anna's GLI once, they did damn good work for pretty cheap; if you are looking to save a few bucks and get the work done 99% perfect this is def the place to go (although I had trouble finding problems with anything I saw there, they work on a ton of porsches).

Re: Project P00n (Exotic Killer)

Well...

Hopkins auto body said they would only do what the insurance adjuster quoted if they accepted the check. As in that's what they have to do per law or something. He did tell me to try depositing the check and seeing what happens? LOL.... no.

LaMettry's said they would work on it no problem and work with me. But he quoted me $1100 to paint a bumper, trunk lid and the outsides of my evo viii spoiler. That SORT of seems steep because that was without feathering my quarter panels, plus he wanted to paint my bumper beam? Not sure what that was all about.

A place that Hughes' suggested said they wouldn't touch my car because it's not German and "they only specialize in german paint".

So I'm not sure where to go from here, right now it's looking like using LaMettry's is my only option. Other than trying to call capital one and seeing what they say but something tells me they'll just laugh at me. Anyone got any other ideas?
